Memecoin profit calculator: P&L after fees

A memecoin profit calculator that counts the fees: enter your buy, entry and exit market cap, and see net profit in SOL and the rise you need to break even.

A 2x on the chart is not a 2x in your wallet. Fees come off on the way in and again on the way out. On a pump.fun curve the round trip costs about 4% before you have made anything.

Fees decide what you keep. Ours next to ten other apps: best memecoin trading apps, side by side.

How to use the profit calculator

  1. Your buy is the SOL you put into the swap. The app fee sits on top of it, which is why a 1 SOL buy costs 1.01.
  2. Entry and exit market cap only matter as a ratio. Use dollars or SOL, as long as both boxes use the same one. A token you bought at 20K and sold at 40K moved 2x.
  3. App fee is what your terminal charges per trade. Ours is 1% on trades you place and 0.2% on copies and snipes.
  4. Pool fee is what the pool itself takes on every trade, whoever you trade through. On pump.fun it is about 1.25% each way. Other pools charge differently.
  5. Cashback is the share of the app fee that comes back to you. Ours is 25%, paid into your Rewards wallet. Set it to 0 for a terminal that has none.

The full list of what we charge and what the network charges is on the Fees page.

What a memecoin trade nets after fees

One SOL in, at clusterz's rates, on a pump.fun pool:

Move on the chart Net result
Down 50% about -0.52 SOL
Flat about -0.04 SOL
Up 4.1% break-even
Up 50% about +0.44 SOL
2x about +0.93 SOL
5x about +3.83 SOL
10x about +8.67 SOL

A flat trade loses about 4%. A 2x nets about 92%, not 100%. The gap grows with the size of the win, because the sell fees are a percentage of a bigger number.

How the profit sum works

  • Buy. The pool keeps its fee out of your SOL, and the rest buys tokens. The app fee is added on top of the buy.
  • Sell. Your tokens are worth more or less by the move on the chart. The pool keeps its fee again, then the app fee comes off what the sell returns.
  • Cashback. A share of both app fees comes back.
  • Net profit is what the sell returns, plus cashback, minus what the buy cost.
  • Break-even is the move on the chart where net profit is zero.

With a 1% app fee, a 1.25% pool fee and 25% cashback, break-even is a rise of about 4.1%. With no cashback it is about 4.6%. At the 0.2% rate on copies and snipes it drops to about 2.9%, almost all of it the pool's.

What the calculator leaves out

  • Price impact. Your own buy pushes the price up and your own sell pushes it down. On a thin pool that can cost more than every fee here combined. The bonding curve calculator shows it for a pump.fun curve.
  • Price movement while the trade lands. That is what the Max price move setting limits.
  • Network costs. The Solana network fee and any speed tip are small SOL amounts, not percentages, so they bite hardest on small trades. See the network's cut.
  • Token account rent. A first buy of a token leaves a small deposit with the network that comes back when you sell to zero.
  • Partial sells. This sums one buy and one full sell. Selling in steps changes the answer.
  • Tax. Not our subject, and not covered here.

It is arithmetic, not advice. It cannot tell you where the exit market cap will be.

Where you see real P&L in clusterz

  • Before you hit Buy, the buy panel shows the Fee, your Cashback and the All in total. See Fees.
  • Portfolio and P&L counts every fee when P&L after fees is on.
  • Exits sell for you at a gain or a loss you set beforehand, so the exit market cap is a decision and not a hope.
  • Practice fills carry trading costs too, so a result there is closer to a real one.

Memecoin profit FAQ

How do I calculate memecoin profit?

Divide the exit market cap by the entry market cap to get the move.

Multiply your buy by that move, take the pool fee off both sides and the app fee off the sell, then subtract what the buy cost you with its fee. The calculator above does it in one step.

How much do fees take from a memecoin trade?

On a pump.fun pool at a 1% app fee, a round trip costs about 4.5% of the trade before cashback: about 2.5% to the pool and 2% to the app. With 25% cashback on the app fee it is about 4%.

What is the break-even on a memecoin trade?

The rise on the chart that pays back every fee. At a 1% app fee, a 1.25% pool fee and 25% cashback it is about 4.1%. Price impact and network costs push it higher, most of all on small trades and thin pools.

Does market cap in dollars or SOL matter for profit?

Not for this sum. Only the ratio between entry and exit matters. Your profit is counted in SOL, so a token that doubles in dollars while SOL falls has not doubled your SOL.
